Lady, that one has been talked about for at least 10 years. GOOD, it should go to Herndon based on where it's located. Anyone who bought in that boundary thinking they'd stay at Langley even before the comprehensive review was announced is a dumb SAHM married to a rich lawyer who doesn't give a crap about his children. Amirite?

I'm skeptical this will happen. It would leave Langley, renovated and expanded just a few years ago, with only four feeders: Churchill Road, Colvin Run, Great Falls, and Spring Hill.

I could see reassigning part of Forestville (on the other side of Route 7) to other schools in Herndon and Reston, and leaving Forestville in the Langley pyramid. Other schools have far more than four ES feeders.

I think Centre Ridge goes to Centreville--not Chantilly. Not sure about the Navy kids. Looks like a very small group goes to Chantilly--and they are practically walking distance.

They would move ES from McLean or Marshall into Langley - so Langley would never have just 4 feeders.

They might move the part of Spring Hill that goes to McLean to Langley, but that's about it and most of Spring Hill already goes to Langley. Otherwise moving McLean or Marshall feeders into Langley is inconsistent with the goal of sending kids to the closest school when feasible.

I realize you want to rile up the Forestville parents but there are always going to be kids living a long way from Langley going there. Same with Oakton. The location of the schools dictates that.

Centre Ridge goes to CVHS, are you high? It is nowhere near CHS. Westfield has 2800+ students, no room for more.

People need to stop opining about areas they are ignorant over.

Take this with a grain of salt, but my friend who works at Gatehouse said that the redistricting plans in store for FCPS are going to be surprising to many.

I have no idea if the following is true or not, but I wanted to highlight some potential moves in the works. My source stated that some low-income schools will be moved to other low-income schools to muddy the waters on any criticism that FCPS is ONLY moving UMC kids to low-performing schools.

Potential Moves:

The entirety of Wakefield Forest ES will be moved from Frost/Woodson to Poe/Annandale. Not just those living on the east side of Wakefield Chapel Road.

Ravensworth ES will also be zoned out of LBSS to Annandale as well. To make room for this at Annandale and to supply Lewis with more students, Bren Mar Park ES and Weyanoke ES will be moved from Edison and AHS.

Willow Springs ES will be moved out of Johnson/Fairfax to Robinson. Waples Mill ES will entirely be moved into Fairfax and the Greenbriar East areas that feed into Fairfax will be moved to Oakton. Fairhill ES will also be moved into Fairfax.

Forestville ES will be moved to HMS/HHS.

Oak View ES will entirely move to Robo while Terra Centre will be switched to Lake Braddock.

Hunt Valley ES will be rezoned to Key/Lewis.

These are the major HS-related moves that will potentially occur. Keep in mind ES and MS boundaries will be tweaked to accommodate these moves.

My source could be completely wrong, so keep that in mind.

I am on the Boundary Review Committee. We haven't even started discussing any scenarios yet. We're still looking at all the comments from the community meetings.

The reality is the school board is going to make the decisions. So they may have already decided on the above and we're just "working" so it appears the community has input.

We just bought a home walking distance to Wakefield Forest Elementary and from our home to Woodson is half the distance from our home to Annandale High. If this is true, how in the world is this logical. With the current uncertainty facing federal government workforce and FCPS making unpredictable changes how can a middle class family in fed workforce make it through without a complete breakdown.

That sucks, but did you not realize the neighborhood could be rezoned to AHS? Fcps has been talking about redristrictibg for quite some time. Annandale is under capacity.

+1

Annandale is not under capacity. It is at 99% capacity without modulars, projected to be at 102%.

Then why are they moving students there?

It sounds like the "leaker" wasn't interested in western FCPS and didn't pay much attention to any possible changes.

Chantilly is the most overcrowded HS, i donnt see anything related to that.

I think there could be something to this. Likely the leak doesn't care much about the west of FCPS.

There is no closer school for any Chantilly students. And, Chantilly has almost no new construction that is not closer to Westfield.

Its way overcrowded. Someone's gotta go.

Chantilly HS has much lower FARMs rates than all of its surrounding high schools, hence no one wanting to be moved out. (Except Oakton, but that's a long drive.).

Probably everyone one north of 50.

Chantilly: 22% Farms

Centreville: 36% Farms

Westfield: 36% Farms

Herndon: 55% farms

Fairfax HS: 40% Farms

Oakton is only 16%. Langley is only 4%. Ridiculous.

South Lakes: 35% Farms

I think Woodson is expected to be above capacity, so I could see moving part of Woodson back to Annandale and, if necessary, moving part of Annandale somewhere else. But Annandale has a modular now and will be at essentially full capacity without it.

Oh sweetie, Langley doesn't share any boundary with Madison. If you want to troll successfully, do your homework.
